Epic Games Inc. asked the US Supreme Court to review a judge’s 2021 ruling that Apple Inc.’s App Store policies don’t violate federal antitrust laws.
Epic’s request is the latest in a long-running battle between the maker of Fortnite and Apple over the way the iPhone maker runs its marketplace. Billions of dollars in revenue are at stake for Apple, which charges developers a commission of as much as 30% for digital goods and services sold through its App Store — a fee Epic is trying to get around paying for its games.
